Has there been any public statement from Apple, Google, and assorted companies? I'd imagine they have to be concerned about this. This one feels kind of weird

Has there been any public statement from Apple, Google, and assorted companies? I'd imagine they have to be concerned about this.
This one feels kind of weird in that I'm not seeing the same level of uproar/pushback as I've seen in the past, which is a slightly frightening bit.
- cft 7y agoIf one of them is behind on encryption relative to others it's a competitive disadvantage. If all of them are forced to abolish encryption it's a welcome opportunity for better ad targeting . Additionally this increased regulatory and technological burden is a good start-up deterrent. What's not to like?
- Klonoar 7y agoThe bill is specifically going after Section 230 on the surface, though, which I would think would be of more immediate concern to them. Most blog posts even note that the encryption aspect is being targeted as a run-around. I'm willing to entertain the logic, sure, just not sure I agree with it. Feels like there's more at stake for them (collectively) here.
